MANY LIVES LOST VESSELS WRKCKED
AND PROrERTY DESTROYED.
The storm Monday did great dam
&gc in the South, destroying millions
of dollars worth of property and kill
ing a large number of persons.
The damage done at Charleston
and Savannah aggregates lnrgeauma
and from both cities comes the dis
tressing news of the killing tnd
wounding of a number f people.
The north end of Savannah is report
ed as being completely demolished,
and. lnlaet, it is difficult to estimate
J the damage done to property and the
number ot lives lost; already orer
forty bodies have been, taken from
the rams. Others are believed to
have been drowned.

not so great as at Savannah, was also
distressing and especially was this
the case to property. There is not
fifty yards space in the streets that do
not contain debris, such as roofs of
houses, signs, awnings, telegraph
poles, etc., which were scattered in
all directions. The streets were also
flooded with water. It is reported
that eight people were killed and a
number wounded.
It is also reported that a great
number were killed and wounded at
Sullivan's Island.
All along the coast a large num
ber of wrecks is reported.
At Port Royal and Beaulort, Ga.,
every house was damaged to some
extent, and a number of barges and
crafts were wrecked and blown
ashore. The Coosa w Mining Com
pany loses $50,000. The total losses
are estimated in the neighborhood of
half a million dollars. Fully one
hundred persons were killed and
drowned, only six of them white, the
others being negroes. Twenty lives
were lost on Paris Island by drown
ing, and tully 25 lost at St. Helena.
Augusta suffered no loss beyond
the breaking of the telegraph, tele
phone and electric light wires from
falling trses, but the damage to crops
cannot be computed and estimated
upon ior some days.
Reports of the storm from various
town m North and South Carolina
show -i'rfible damage to build
ings, -ce3, fences, and the crops. In
